[arno samimi]

a familiar picture. start:

support engine mounted:

all necessary removed from the top:

from below also:

and already out:

new parts, ratios pk6 017 phII, quaife atb:

new bearings for the pk6 017 phII primary shaft:

new bearings for the pk6 017 phII secondary shaft 1:

new bearings for the pk6 017 phII secondary shaft 2:

quaife atb pk6:

new bearings for the quaife atb:

ratio gear pk6 017 phII mounted:

all new inner parts ready for mounting:

the pk6 012 phI gearbox mounted on the gearbox support:

external parts removed, open the gearbox:

remove the inner parts and clean it all:

replace the clutch bearing and shaft seals, clean the gearbox housing:

quaife atb with pk6 017 phII ratio gear mounted:

all pk6 017 phII shafts and the shifting parts mounted:

apply sealant:

gearbox housing and external parts mounted:

gearbox identification. change from PK6 012 to PK6 017 & Q (Q for Quaife):

gearbox installation follows (actually nothing special anymore)...

Hero

What does it all mean in driving terms?

 

[arno samimi]

thanks!

ratios:
now, the gearbox fits properly to the engine charakteristic.
you know, i have converse my 230 engine to the 255 engine.
and we all know, that the ph1 ratios were chosen already bad to the 230 engine.
and now, with the 255 engine, it was even worse.
I knew that even before the engine conversion, but first i had to persuade quaife,
that they develop for me (and now also for all of you) a atb for the pk6 gearbox,
and i found to 255 ratios (also not easy). so I had to wait until now.

the reasons for a quaife atb are logical - neutral and stable rear axle at corners:
ahead / in corners on the gas, sudden take away gas in corners, and give gas a little too early out of the corner,
the clio should not or significantly less bring out of the rest (less oversteer), than without this variable, torque-controlled locking differential.

and now the installation of the gearbox:

from above all mounted on the gear :

finally from above the air filter and intake hose

after installing the axle shafts, fill the gear oil in:
.

orignals gear oil doesn’t make any problems with quaife:

the rear axle is almost at the end to the car:

of course, all self-locking nuts be replaced:

mounted the rear wheels:

and now comes the bleeding the clutch system…

this week the rest...
